I'm having a serious issue with roaming I live in central florida and in some areas the sprint service suck. I'm currently running the latest fresh rom as well as the latest klick kernel I have tried also stock kernel same thing. Currently have flashed pri 1.77 and I also had pri 1.43 and the same problem happened. When ever I try to make a call and if I'm in an area where there is no signal and I have to roam. Usually it is verizon towers when I call it says that you for calling verizon we are sorry we cannot authenticate your phone please call verizon customer service. If I try to call again several times it will actually xfer me over to an operator for verizon and ask me if I'm placing an international call. So I can not roam onany network because my phone can not be authenticated has anybody had this issue. Thank you please any help or adivse I would greatly apperciate thank you

There is a thread in development that is devoted on fixing this. I believes it involves calling a direct # to Sprint, where they fix your phone on the network.

thread link? i already tried calling and they said they would send out a technician... eventhough it happens anywhere i roam, not just in one spot... friggin guys
If u are on a sense rom, try updating your profile. If that still doesn't work, you will have to call sprint. Tell them exactly what's going on and they will fix it on their end thru the phone. You might have to call several times before u talk to a sprint rep that knows what they are doing. When I had this problem, the first rep told me to go to a sprint store. I hung up and called again and the second rep was able to fix

Call up Sprint, ask to speak with EVO Technical Support, tell them that you are getting an error message from Verizon saying they can't authenticate your device whenever you make a call on roaming, that you can't connect data, that you've updated your PRI, PRL, Profile, and checked software updates. They'll have to update some stuff on your end, and probably ask you to do a Factory Reset as well (so make sure to backup your stuff first!).
Took me less than five minutes to get everything sorted out.
Awesome thank you guess much I was talking To at lady sprint tech department she had me make sure I was using the correct msid number. Then she told me if that didn't work she gave the the # code to do a complete reset including programming reset as well. Going to try that tonight thank you. Anybody have a solution for the Bluetooth connecting then disconnecting all the time thanx.

ask Sprint support to help you reset your MSID... did that on mine and everything worked great!
This problem is killing me. I just rooted the evo to be able to tether at work to my personal computer but now (after root) I'm getting that Verizon message about can't authenticate the phone.
Anyone have more about this? I've searched the hell out of Google and nothing seems to be acurate to my problem.

How are you trying to tether? Wired or wireless? And if you are doing a wired tether, using that usb pop up, and choosing internet connection sharing, you get a pop up error...
not our problem that we were having. For that to work, you need to pay sprint for it or use calkuins mod in the development forum.
... Or use wireless tether found in the market
Ours was when roaming on verizons towers, we couldn't make a call or use data. Resetting the msid fixes that.
I forgot to say that I was trying to tether via wifi and while using data roaming. Well, after countless hours reading hundreds of threads I found this and worked for me. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769966&highlight=force+roaming. (sorry can't post links)
In short- call Sprint (number in the linked thread) tell them about your roaming message problem. Tell them that you read in the forums that the best known fix for this is to "refresh my phone on your (Sprint) end". Tell them that they do something there that you need to remove the battery of your phone and reinstall.
This will most likely fix your problem. >> You'll need to be on roaming I tried without roaming ( while on Sprint network) and didn't work.
By any circumstances let them to get you into hard reset, soft reset, we don't do this, i don't know, we'll exchange your phone, etc... You might have to update your PRL.
I got it fixed in the 3rd attempt.
The first one - a female tech wanted me to do a hard reset and got really upset because I was "telling her what to do" (she got pissed). >> If this happens be polite and hang up with the person and call again. no results? Repeat...
The second - a guy was very helpful and understood what I wanted. He did it but I couldn't get the phone on roaming (couldn't find the darn "roam control" widget to force roaming) so it didn't fix it.
The third - another nice guy after explaining him what the second guy did and the no roaming message situation (do not mention the root or force roaming) he told me to remove the battery - did his thing- installed the battery and while on roaming placed a call and IT WORKED.
I recommend you to read the thread from the posted link for more info. Hope this helps. I spent all day trying to fix this from start to finish. It should take you 20 min from this point to get the thing fixed.

Essentially the same as resetting your msid dude. You coulda saved some time by just calling sprint and telling them the answer you already got here.
not sure where to begin, i suppose by listing my phone specs after root--
using the galaxy s2, (epic 4g touch) using kernal 2.6.35-8lostkernelexp+, build number starburst 11.13.11 v1.9.8r and running nothing but the honey theme.
i rooted the phone about a week ago and until today, everything seemed to work fine, then suddenly, i was unable to send pictures via text. not a real big issue, but i travel alot and sending pics back home by messages i a big deal for me. i thought it was just somethin with the phone, and after rebooting and rebooting to see if it would correct, it did not. however, normal text's would go through, just not any pics. i could send and receive normal words with no issues.
then just today, i totally lost internet connection--although the 3g is lit up on top, and i have 4 full bars of signal, i cannot surf, all i get is "unable to display webpage". since im at home, i turned on the wifi option and connected through the router in my house, and all worked fine-- i got online, send pic texts, etc...but when i turned wifi off, nothing.
now, back when i rooted the phone, i still kept getting the annoying "system update" messages that the phone normally does, forcing me to install whatever update the phone grabs. to prevent that, i did the steps on this site which was here--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388778&highlight=freeze+ota
and disabled my update notifications. well, back to the beginning--now i have no internet at all and god only knows what else is wrong that i have yet to discover.
only thing i can think of at this point, is to unroot the phone , return it to the way it was and see how it goes but i dont want to do that--
any ideas?

Why not nandroid a backup of your current setup and then do a full factory reset wipe and ODIN over a stock rom and see if that fixes it...if it does then there is no reason to bring a perfectly good phone back.
Diagnostic process bro, get on it.
However if that doesn't yield any results? Might be bad hardware (which I doubt) and probably not your fault.
EDIT: You haven't changed your PRL by chance, have you? Sometimes on 11115 or 00001 I get intermittent MMS function...and a few times, legit PRL or not, my wifi/4g have just stopped working. A wipe and stock-restore took care of that every time...though that was a week or two after the phone came out and we didn't have nearly as many tools and options as we do now.
Also, are you sure that you haven't somehow disabled 3G or put it into airplane mode? As insulting as that sounds I have to ask....
...sometimes even the brightest of us forget to plug things in.
Odin restore would be the first step.
I would try ##72786# in the dialer then entering your msl. After that just just hut yes then let your phone do its thing and reboot and reactivate. Just remember to cancel it during the firmware check.

Good call...or even just trying to refresh your profile under 'updates' would be the easiest place to start...
The mms issues are likely a limitation of the ROM you are running (I haven't run Starburst in a couple of months so you'll have to ask about that in the ROM thread.) Easily resolved by using a third party app for mms if it is an important feature for you.
As far as the rest, the code provided by beejis is the reprovisioning code, also called a hands free reset and there is a bit more to the process than he stated (at least for a noob.) Hit the toolkit link in my signature and you'll find step by step instructions.
If that doesn't work, starting fresh is an incredibly simple process.
Also, posting the exact same question in two different forums is breaking a Cardinal rule, so you probably want to refrain from that, it won't win you many friends.

yes, tried that to.....get nothing but "error cannot complete" messages. all i can do now is make calls
If you have titanium backup, go into that app then click backup/restore at the top. Find system updates and click on it to see if it's frozen, if it is defrost it. Then try my steps again. Other than that I'd try to Odin a stock ROM.

ok thanks, i went back to odin stock rom, did it from qbking77's post and the phone is back on stock...however............still no internet/data!!
i did do the ##number thing, the phone rebooted but notihng happened--i thought it was supposed to auto activate or something. so i went into settings/about phone/update profile....it scanned and after a few mins, i still get the error message "update could not be completed, if problem persists contact sprint customer support"
so im back on factory rom, but nothings changed---im where i was before--no data/internet....
before installing a different rom and such, i figure ill stop here and see what other suggestions may come about....sooooo, what next?
Take your phone in to a sprint store, an exchange may be in your future.

gee i hope not... i got the phone dec 14th, cant imagine having probs this early....
what if i did a total wipe, factory reset? i know ill loose everything on the phone, and now that its not rooted any longer, i have no way to back up anything (or at least not that i know of)
just hoping theres a better fix than a return/ factory reset
Now that you are stock, call sprint tell them your issue (only tell then internet doesn't work) and they'll do stuff on their end to trouble shoot it. Hopefully that will fix it.

I would try this. This will reset you back to exactly the way you got the phone. If you are still having problems then you will have to take it back to Sprint.

That sucks, I'd recommend taking the phone to Sprint/where you bought it, and get it replaced/fixed. Good news is you're now back on stock so they won't really look into rooting as a problem. I always put phones back to stock before I take it in for a claim.

yea, dunno...
i did call sprint per Beejis reply here just above yours. after going through a ton of crap that i did yesterday and all today, the ## number crap, they tell me there's a nationwide outage. now i find that hard to believe since both my other phones in the house, wife/kid work just fine and they have data/internet and other ppl i know have no problems....i told the tech person that it just must be my phone only cuz everyone else's seems to work.
she did give me an outage number, maybe someone on here can verify it -- 8622911 so who the heck knows. what i do know is, i sure spent a heck of alota time on here, resetting my phone, unrooting, blahh blahh just to find out there's an outage which i doubt in the first place ...
we'll see,,,,,
If you are now stock/rooted, sounds like you need to use sfhubs auto root script to go back to stock recovery (overwrite your custom recovery) unroot, and take it back to Sprint.

its just stock odin at this point, as if it came from the store.
also, still no data/internet as of this morning. dont know why sprint
is telling me this bs story of an outage, and even if so, i find it way hard to beleive its a 4 day outage
but yes, looks like im headed back to the store-- i got it at best buy, have insurance and all that, but ill wait till tomorrow or something just in case this phantom outage corrects itself
by the way, where do i find this sfhubs root your talking about?
oh one other thing i discovered today also, now gps dont work either, no location, no search no nothing and it is turned on......... sigh
I have a Sasktell Note 2 and have major problems with the WiFi
When turning it on it will flick on and off then get stuck off, when i mean flick on and of it never fully turns on the on light comes on for maybe a split second then back of and just hands with it not being on or off and not usable.
I have flashed a multitude of roms and put stock rom back on but this problem will not go away and is random, sometimes removing the battery will help and it will work for a few hours or days then crap out again.
Tried and searched even did the copy the old etc/wifi setting over the orginal did not work.
getting close to the point of stamping on it and getting a Iphone:crying:
Thanks for any help
reboot your router...
Factory reset the device and set up WiFi again..
Sounds like a dirty device...
Router reset also as mentioned above...g
Thanks for advice not sure what you mean on router not using a router, im just trying to turn on the wifi on my phone and its not that it wont connect to anything it just wont turn on.
I have done factory resest 1,0000000000000 times and just flashed another 2 roms same problem.
If you are using wifi at your house etc..
Power down the router for your internet connection and reboot it..
This could also be a hardware issue...
It sounds like you have exhausted the other repair options with fresh installs and trouble shooting....g
Thanks no its nothing to do with a router its a phone issue.
Not connecting to router or anything for that matter just turning on wifi on the phone.
Pos is ready be thrown through a wall no one seems to know the reason
Also as wifi button is not working it also means hotspot is not working
Where can I get the original note 2 rom for sasktel every one I find is bell or ata one last ditch at fixing it

Well tried a few more things and think i screwed it,
It now comes up with baseband unknown and the phone memory has dropped to 0 if i connect to the usb cable I can see the phone on the PC but has odd numbers when it comes to free memory and cannot create anything as says zero memory.
If i go to the phone there is no longer any signal and the memory is at 0 also.
I just re checked odin i think I clicked Nand erase all by mistake ooops
If you did erase the nand....the phone is effectively dead..
Unless you have a full backup to restore your EFS and IMEI #....then it's bye bye note2..
Oops is right....
Ya killed it....g
Edit:
Do you have a backup ??
That part about being careful was no joke....g
No back up so no phone.................
Could I not DL a nadro from online and flash it?
If that's not a option bye Note 2 I would like to say it had been a fun ride but you where a piece of crap and destroyed my trust in Android your brother SGS1 had a hand in destroying it also )
you cant download someone elses nandroid and use it..
sounds like operator error has runied another phone;
dont blame it on Android
I would agree operator ruined it im not blaming it very odd of you to read that from the sentence.
I stated my first android sgs1 no good nothing to do with anything other than the phone, inline mic and usb sound did not work GPS did not work Samsung stated no work around live with it. Note 2 over 6 months of no Wifi or hotspot makes phone useless for me as it is a required feature as country living no internet unless the phone works. Tried fixing and talking about it no joy so had already decided the phone was going in the trash, hence why im not that fussed that it bricked.
Very sorry about the phone...
It's a fine device...but is not a solve all...
No device is....g

Thanks but no joy I can do everything it suggests until it comes to putting something on the Internal mem as its messed up and just shows 0 available.
worth a shot
So this has happened to me at home and work but it's not consistent. Some times when I try to connect I get a message on the WiFi connect that says "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow" (see picture). Any idea what criteria is used to determine this, and is there a way to over ride it?
I'm at work right now and I just got kicked out wifi due to too slow lol.. but at home I have not got it yet.. maybe too much people at work using the wifi network. .
I setup my home network to have separated name (SSID) for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Network.
When I connect to the 2.4Ghz channel, no problem.
At the same distance, like 6 inches away from the router, when I connect to the 5Ghz channel, my 2 Galaxy Note 3 shows the same "network too slow" error and it will drop the connection.
This is one of the many reasons I returned my GSN 3
I also experienced another WiFi error.
At work, I can connect to the WiFi network with the WPA password provided, on my HTC One with no issue whatsoever.
When I tried to connect to the same network using the Note 3, it keeps telling me I have to "sign-in", when I click on the browser to "sign-in" (like those Free WiFi you can get at the hotel), there is no sign in page (because there is none) and brings me right to Google.com.
After that, the connection will last for 30 seconds or so and drop off.
The one I got initially and the replacement, both have the same issue, and I did inform T Mobile before I return them back.
4.3 problem? Samsung's problem? I don't know... All I know is I will wait until they resolve all these before I will reconsider getting this phone.
I spoke to them on same issue. Got new phone and they working on updating the WiFi drivers.
NOTE 3
Here is the fix for this it worked for me try this....
Go to wifi advanced settings lower left corner then uncheck auto network switch. Then check the box that pops up that says don't ask again. This should fix your wifi connecting issue...

So far yes. Not a 100% sure though because the problem was not consistent. Sometimes it would connect sometime give the message. So, I'll keep you posted if it comes back.
Not trying to say your post isn't serious enough but we all who are having this problem on a consistent basis need to make a thread about this and just not take anything for an answer, but to give people somewhere to complain about this & hopefully bring more attention to this because there is nothing that is fixing this issue. The only thing that will fix this is Samsung or a Dev on a custom ROM hopefully. If you uncheck the options in advanced settings, it just stops the pop up from coming up telling you the connection is to slow & dropping you, after unchecked it dont drop you but while still showing you a full connection it will not do anything data wise, connect to the internet, switch to a different site, no facebook, no twitter, no market etc..... Nothing, you dont get dropped you just cant do anything. I hope my anger dont make anyone think Im arguing with anyone in here and their opinions, we all have this problem and are trying to help eachother, im just poitning out that those who are thinking this is fixing things its not, its just stopping the pop up. I am very frustrated this is happening on a brand new phone i waited this long for and paid as much as i did for. There should be a freaking petition started for this cause its just wrong.
Works fine for me my wifi never disconnects now after unchecking auto network switch and always scanning... Idk what to tell you guys that are still having the issue because I had the same issue when I first got the phone too...
Maybe try forgetting the network then reconnect after unchecking those settings and reboot...

Not all phones are created equal. Samsung needs to change the wifi drivers on the phone or a dev needs to take note 2 drives and add them to a custom rom.

I posted this in a different forum also but figured id post it here to. I just got off the phone with Samsung & they told me its not a major reported problem, wtf, lol? Everyone i know who owns this phone has this problem with it sayin internet connection to slow and booting them off, even with full signal. Im on my 2nd phone now & have the same problem. They tried telling me to go in to the wifi call settings & turn off wifi calling preferred, & i said why? Even though it's checked I have it off. I said seriously? what is that going to do for a wifi signal problem, lol. It's not my wifi calling it's my full wifi signal. I can tell this is going to be a huge problem & im returning my phone, 3rd time now, for a new one today, if i get the same problem, almost positive i will, im sadly going to have to return this phone & just get a refund instead. & that would really suck. Maybe i'll try a black one, but im sure it probably happens on that one to, lol.
I have been having this problem also. Turning off "Auto network switch" in the advanced network settings allows the phone to hold on to the connection, but it is completely unstable. I tested the connection using iPerf and it was all over the place. I can post screenshots when I get home later if it helps anyone. Samsung definitely needs to step in here.

Samsung could careless about us. They sold the phone to TMOBILE not us. Or whatever ur using. Everyone needs to complain to the big 4 major company. Then if they get hit hard then they can light a fire under Samsung butt.

Currently even if disconnected at all - it will force a reboot if it the SIM isn't detected? I have xposed framework installed but I can't find a module which would do what I am describing.
Is there a way to disable the phone from restarting after it recognizes that the sim card had been disconnected?
Like a way for it to ignore that the SIM was disconnected or anything to do with that warning/force reboot message.
BTW what is up with the captchas? seriously? Has someone spammed the forum a whole bunch cause I swear every time I needed to enter one it took me like twenty times before it would verify! Indeed the hardest captchas I've ever tried to read!
Thanks for any help!
That's not normal behavior at all. First I would try to disable xposed, could be a module doing this. If not, then reflash stock firmware or clean flash your current rom
My phone also randomly loses detection of the simcard which obviously has not been removed because I doubt you can get it out with the battery and cover in the way, but when I was trying different roms, (sorry I don't remember which one off the top of my head, I think it may have been a rom by The Sickness or possibly Jamison904) one of them didn't care that my phone didn't detect my simcard, it obviously didn't make/receive calls, texts, or data while in this state till I reset the phone and the simcard was detected but I just wanted to let you know it is indeed possible.

Normal behaviour will not reboot it, I've seen that problem with a friend's phone and it never forced a reboot. That's why I suggested to disable xposed, reflash stock firmware, reflash rom, or flash another like you said
I assumed it was stock firmware that forced reboot when the sim was no longer detected, NOT an xposed module. I was wondering if there was an xposed module which could modify that behavior. Jesus can I donate money to get rid of the recaptcha?

Nope it doesn't do that, so it's unlikely that such a module exists. This is the first time I am reading about this behavior to be honest. I just use tapatalk so no captcha
Thats a stock problem im having that same issue. Its annoying.... if theres a way I wanna know too.

I totally figured it was... it did NOT seem like the kinda message xposed would force on you....
Unless you meant that it could xposed causing a hiccup in the loop, but that's still ambiguous.
I doubt it's xposed as my phone was resetting constantly, got a new SIM and I've seen it only do it once since I put it in a week+ ago. Might try that first?
Edit:
Man this ****ing captcha is stupid. For a coder forum why should I have to enter it again after I hit preview post?!?!! I'm trying to write better, seriously anyone know any robots who spam and preview their posts first? Now I'm just gonna submit and edit the stuff which doesn't require a captcha to be entered..... which is REALLY dumb that I can do that cause spammers could just spam a bunch of regular posts then edit them en masse.
I still don't think it's stock problem, but try this, guys
I just came across a thread I remember reading about a while back and thought I'd share what their solution was.
Solution is below:
"I discovered there was an issue with the setting in the OS (Settings, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Network Mode) and the Service Mode settings (Phone dialer, *#2263#). *Service mode was initially set to Automatic and under the band preferences I had some other non standard settings. *I went thru and verified all the band settings were set to "all" and selected option 6 (LTE/WCDMA Mode) versus option 1 (Automatic). *I have not seen an error in over a week."

Thanks for the help, however that post is really unclear can you clarify the steps this dude took or what's happening here? Or link to the thread?
Basically just going into service menu and change the network preferences to wcdma/LTE only

Hmph, that's crazy that is what caused the problem. I'll try it if it happens again and see if that works but changing the sim card seeems to have worked.
It was confusing because they mentioned all the button presses when you can get to the menu from what they said.

Yeah replacing sim should always be one of the first things to try in this situation. My friend has the same problem and turned out it was the sim card they were using was a cut one. This phone is not friendly with those

Unfortunately it did it again today walking around shopping more, but I wonder if the above fix does the trick. I'll report back.
Edit: just realized the next setting is WCDMA/GSM only, no WCDMA/LTE only or do yo need to be in the service menu via the key presses?

It appears that you do need to be in service mode
